the resignation the examiner said had been forced from cooley by mayor bnmejf private secretary b j mullaney in a stormy interview in which the school su perintendent refused to sign a big batch of transfers for teachers fears the muckrake it was the discovery that ida m taibell was to muckrake the Chicago school board as administered under the schneider cooley rule that drew the reluctant admis sion from president schneider that cooley before leaving for europe two months r.ga had submitted his resignation but that it had not been accepted in reply to the insistent demand for a statement as to whether cooley would return ti his post at the head of chi cago's school system president schneider according to the interview in the examiner of june 20 said let me tell you a secret mr cooley did resign just before he went away but i did not accept the resignation i sent it back to him i understood that the reason he resigned was because he was uot sure be would recover his health suf ficiently to enable him to resume his duties when mayor busse learned that the cooley resignation had been submitted and was carried around in his pocket for three days by president schneider but without an v knowledge at the city hall that the resignation had been received there was trouble for the school board president then preparations were made by the mayor to dej)ose schneider as a punishment for his failure to turn in to the mayor a resignation that was wanted and would have been accepted building commissioner joseph downey who is to be appointed a school board mem ber in a few days by the mayor was picked for schneider's place as president it ls expected that under the lash of the city hall whip the deposition will be car ried out on the night of july 1 the time when six

did you tell mayor busse or his secre tary b j mullaney that mr cooley wanted to resign was asked certainly not why not i will not answer that question at this time he said why not was asked again j have nothing to say was the answer superintendent cooley is touring ger many in the interest of a movement which aims to transform the schools of Chicago into educational factories for the produc tion of armies of young strikebreakers to be used in fighting trades union work men such ls one of the specifications set forth by miss margaret haley yesterday in an amazing arraignment of the schneider cooley administration of the Chicago pub lic school system labor is interested there are many indications that the members of the union labor bodies are be ginning to be aroused over this questlou and miss haley as well as school trus tees mills post and others interested in education said yesterday that american labor would probably boycott such schools if inaugurated the purpose of the movement miss haley says is to aid the trusts and all the oppressive industrial combines iu their con flicts with union labor if the industrial school were introduced here it would prob ably have the b'""_t of guidance and fos tering care from president schneider who miss haley declares has proudly gone on record with the statement that he is an educational product of such a school in germany up to a few years ago schneider was at tlie bead of a firm which has sold out to a trust it is claimed by personal friends of tlie mayor who may be supposed to know his mind that he believes it would not be good politics to transplant the german industrial school system to Chicago where the labor unions would be certain to raise the cry that the people's schools are to be used by industrial trusts as
